Lutezine to Lute News 111 (October 2014): Santino Garsi da Parma (1542-1604), Ascanio and Donino Garsi, Balletto detta la mezza pace & Albert de Rippe Part 3: Fantasies No 22-24

SANTINO GARSI DA PARMA (continued)[1]

The remaining ascribed lute solos of Santino are included in this Lutezine,[2] one version of each (except for no 30 for which all versions are included): four Ballo/Balletto, arrangements of the popular Italian tunes Aria/Ballo del Gran Duca/di Firenze[3] and Ruggiero,[4] a Correnta (arranged or composed by Santino), a Rotta, and three doubtful items, in which his name is either crossed out or added together with that of Lorenzino in the unique sources: two gagliarda and a long capriccio (reminiscent of Dowland's fantasias in places!). These are followed by seven anonymous gagliarda in Santino's style that could have been composed by Santino or by others within his sphere of influence: one from the Barbarino MS, four from Galilei's manuscript where they are interdigitated with the many anonymous items concordant with Santino's music elsewhere (see Lute News), one from a print of Waissel (the least likely to be Santino, although I did identify a concordance for Santino no 5 in another German lute print, Denss' Florilegium - see Lute News) and no vii which is a transposed version of Santino no 5 from a German manuscript that wasn't recognized in time for inclusion in Lute News 110. Many other versions of Santino's music are corrupt, mainly due to Santino's often complex rhythms that copyists did not always notate accurately. Surprisingly, despite the quantity and appeal of Santino's music, it is not well represented on CD.[5] Donini did not seem to inherit Santino's flair for composition, as the thirteen solos in a variety of genres for 13-c archlute ascribed to him are not of a high standard but are nevertheless all reproduced here, plus the one solo bearing the name Ascanio Garsi which he almost certainly borrowed from [Ennemond?] Gauthier.

APPENDIX TO JOHN DOWLAND SERIES PART 12 [14]

To accompany the concordant versions of John Dowland's Lady Hunsdon's Puffe in Lute News 111 (DowlandCLM 54, JD54a-e), all ten cognates of the related Italian model (JD54f-o) are included here. These represent a wide range of settings of much the same material usually in five sections with or without repeats (the A repeats down an octave in m and all repeats down an octave in n], and the B sections of 6 or 12 bars and the other sections 4, 8 or 16 bars. Only the 1st, 2nd and 5th sections were arranged by Dowland, and interestingly by Donino too. Arguments for assuming neither Dowland nor Donino composed the original are in the tablature supplement to Lute News.

ALBERT DE RIPPE/ALBERTO RIPA[15]

This supplement ends with the third part in the series of the complete fantasies of Alberto da Ripa/Albert de Rippe, reproducing three of the five fantasies from Quart Livre de Tabulature de Leut (Paris, Le Roy and Ballard 1553), no 22-24.[16] The first two were also included in virtually identical versions in Thesaurus Musicus (Louvain, Phalèse & Bellère, 1574 [Brown 15747]), but no other concordances for the three are known and they were not included in the Morlaye/Fezandat printed series. Page 4 here shows the title pages for all the surviving prints of de Rippe's music published by Fezandat and Le Roy & Ballard (the Fezandat book III is missing). Incidentally, I can think of no lute music more sublime than bars 163-196 of Fantasie 22, although the left hand fingering of the unique chords is unusually difficult to master!

  7. The name in the title is presumably a dedication rather than composer, and in the facsimile edition of the ML lute book (Clarabricken, Boethius Press 1985) p. xxii, Robert Spencer suggested it referred to Arthur Brett, a cousin of Lady Buckingham, Groom of the Bed-chamber and would-be favourite of of James I, who was knighted in 1623 and came to public notice especially in 1624, or alternatively Robert Brett of Devonshire who was knighted in 1604 and died in 1620.
